Its far cheaper to get the same piece from a local Harley Davidson dealer, as its the same unit on a Buell. No need to worry about the taillight!

But if a bike changed the way biking is perceived at the end of the last century, that was probably the 916...

In two minds here because the Monster is probably my favourite bike of all time. However I would have to say that the Fireblade was the bike of the 90s for me. I remember the huge impact it made when it was released in 1992, as it was so different from all other sportsbikes of the time. I think it was 20kg lighter than the 750s of the period, let alone the litre bikes. The journos of the time were just about wetting themselves. Not only was it a huge step forward for sportsbikes, it has been hugely influential, you only need to look at the current market to see that. It basically changed the whole philosophy of sportsbike manufacturing. Oh, and the GPZ900 for bike of the 80s, just ahead of the GSX-R. Interesting blog.
